Totally agree, it's as if the media think Apple invented touch screens, mobile downloads and music downloads.

Everyone here know its simply not true, but what they did do is make it simple and convenient - but also majorly locked down. But the media loves this because the 'layman' can understand it.

If Apple brought out a Torrent downloader it would a major PR success for file sharing

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Accessories] Moses_Ivanov:
I bought a car audio Panasonic DEH-50UB, an audio player that has an AUX connector for external source and want to use it together with my Qtek 2020i. I connect the car audio and PPC through the audio connector for headphones.

The problem is that I can not connect Qtek 2020i both to car audio and power supply via cigarette lighter.

When both cables are connected, I hear noise coming from my car loudspeakers. This noise appears while no audio signal is transmitted. During the playback there is no noise, but it reappears in the pauses between audio files. After 5-30 minutes of playing back the music my PPC hangs.

This situation is very disappointing for me, as I was going to use car loudspeakers for navigation to receive voice instructions form iGO etc.

I made some tests, and here are the results.

The PPC running on its own battery transmits audio to car speakers without any noise. That would have satisfied me, but this way the battery drains out.

If a PPC is connected to the power supply from the lighter, its own speaker produces no noise. Still the sound is too quiet.

The PPC works well with computer speakers both when it is connected to external power and whet it works with its own battery.

The USB adapter for car lighter works the same as the ordinary power adapter.

Does anyone know the solution for my problem?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Accessories] dkuku:
the noise comes from the car electric installation - you must use an electrical filter (something like the small black box in car radios on the power wires)

Is this possible, I have been able to find some code here and there about obtaining the call id in windows mobile but nothing about getting multipul values. I found this line on wikipedia

"Interestingly, all the present GSM modem/mobiles (Telit, SIMCOM, HTC, Nokia etc) are coming with some extra feature to monitor the neighboring cells and its RSSI value. Theoretically you should get 1+6=7 cell information(1 home cell ID, 7 BCCH info+ 7 RSSI). If you can prepare the database of GPS location of the 7 cells, it is not impossible to locate your location with very high accuracy (<100 mtr)."

If I could do this then the application I am currently creating would become much more appealing.

any help is greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
Sorry for the bump just very interested if anyone has any experience in this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hobbbbit:
I was looking into CellID information not too long ago, and as far as I understand, WinMo doesn't have any available APIs to get information for the other 6 towers... Most likely it has that information for the OS use only, but it doesn't look like there's any ways to pull it out of there....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. Not being able to obtain that information is very annoying imagine having relatively accurate location without GPS. oh well maybe they will release this soon.

A Windows Mobile app for location tracking in a route without GPS and internet

Where am I (Wami) is a Windows Mobile application suite that tells you where you are in the middle of a trip, without GPS and without connecting to the internet, using cell broadcast and cell tower information and a pre-recorded route file instead. It works by recording cell broadcast and tower information along a route into a route file and then using the current cell broadcast/tower information to index into the route file and find out the relative location within the route.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/wami.aspx

VirtualGPS Lite 1.45 - is a free, small utility, which fully emulates GPS module and returns your location (by using cellular towers and wi-fi hotspots). Accuracy of coordinates is about 50-500m. :rolleyes:

http://www.kamlex.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=30

This does work with TomTom emulating built in GPS on my htc prophet but not accurately
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
Thanks a lot for this information. annoyingly the first would not suit my project and the second sounds very interesting but there is no way to know how the developer gets their position from the cellId, they state that the accuracy is between 50-500m which if true is far superior to simply checking cell Id as i though that could be as far out as 3km .

If anyone does know or can think of a way to improve accuracy when not using gps I would be very interested to hear from them.

all the current technologies seem to need the participation of the network. I guess if you cannot access multiple cell Id's you wont be able to tell your phone to connect to a different cell tower. I wonder if there is any way of accessing the cell id of different operators cell towers, for example when you search for a gsm connection it will find all that are available, surely at this point your phone is querying all the towers.

in the software described it says that you can also estimate location based on ip's I thought they wouldnt be very accurate, also wouldn't you have to get a connection to work out the ip anyway and most wifi networks are password protected.

*edit* Also does any one know the answer to this? how does google maps give an aproximation value e.g. you are here within XXmeters are there any examples of people being able to retrieve this data along with the central position?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:
Have you tested the virtual GPS the figures they quote are few and far between using cell id alone i would say a good 1/4 mile off they must use the same info as Google maps because my position was the same in goggle maps as in tomtom using virtual gps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
No I didn't use the software because I have built in gps and didn't want it to change any settings. so your saying its likely cell id alone? I supose that he may be right saying that it is usually 50-500meters out that seems to be consistent with the values i have obtained from google maps although they do always give a much larger error margin then that. for example where I am right now I would say the location is 100meters wrong but says it is accurate to 1.7km

I wonder if I could create a method that would tell my phone to try to connect to all other networks but my own to obtain their cell id and after getting all available return to my own network, if it is a quick process then it may be worth looking into. I think unless anyone has a different idea I might investigate along this path.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wapvirus:
my phone can switch gsm test mode by typing *#*#364#*#* in to the keypad

This needs to be enabled in the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EngineerMode]
"BuildInEngineeringModeApp"=dword:00000001
"LaunchEngineerModeAppDialStr"="*#*#364#*#*"

could this be of use ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
I'm not sure but it does look very interesting, seeing as it is an embedded htc app maybe there will be someway of obtaining multiple cell id through a similar hidden menu. also I noticed some other interesting fields like TA which I believe is used by operators to increase positioning. Thanks for showing me this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hobbbbit:
I can think of a few ways of improving accuracy by using just one cell tower information. First of all, you can be watching current cellID, and as soon as it switches, you can calculate location of old cellID and new one, and approximate the location based on that. Second option would be to also check for signal strength. The lower the strength, the further you are away from the tower.

You could also try to use WiFi as well for triangulation. There are huge databases of WiFi MAC addresses on the Internet (not sure if any of them are free, though), and by getting MAC address of the wireless router, you can get an approximate position of your receiver. To get MAC address, you don't have to connect to the network, it could be protected.

You can get central position of the tower by using undocumented Google API, or OpenCellID database. You can find an example of using Google API on codeproject (don't have an address right now, sorry).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badasschris:
Hi hobbbbit

I like the way you think, I came up with the first idea you had but realised it wasn't suitable for my project as I want to be able to obtain a location at any time but I may not be continually checking location. When I first saw people talking about wifi tracking I assumed they would only be able to get a very rough estimate based on the IP address looking into it more I see it should give an accuracy of at least 200m which is ideal for my purpose. The only real solution I can currently find is using skyhooks api

this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoWifiPosition.aspx looks very helpful. I have noticed that google also seems to use wifi location in a few of its products but couldn't find any information of making use of their database.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deepika.bharadia:
Hi badasschris

I m a final year engineering student.As a final year project m working on location based services in GSM mobile phones. I m planning to use cell id and signal strength to obtain approximate location.Can you suggest me a way to improve the efficiency of the algorithm.

Assign contact photos on your SD card directly to specific contacts for hi-res thumbnails. If you assign contact photos in Outlook and then sync, the contact photos on your phone will be low-res.
